Trump is one of the greatest (although far from perfect) conservative presidents in US history. Pay attention. |

Kelly Turnbull's post civil war breakdown: In the dystopian universe of Kurt Schlichter's People's Republic novel series featuring protagonist Kelly Turnbull, the United States has split into two separate, ideologically opposed nations following a cultural and political divorce. While there is no official interactive map released by the author, the books detail a clear geographic breakdown of how the 50 states split after the Treaty of St. Louis.The nation is divided into 27 "Red" states and 23 "Blue" states:🟦 The People's Republic of North America (The Blue States)This territory is a politically correct, hyper-regulated tyranny suffering from economic collapse. Geographically, it is split into two non-contiguous regions separated by the rest of the continent:The West Coast: Includes California, Oregon, and Washington. (Note: By the seventh book, Inferno, the United States successfully invades and occupies California.)The Northeast / New England: Covers New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the rest of the traditional northeastern blue corridor.🟥 The United States / "New America" (The Red States)Often referred to by the People's Republic citizens as "Flyover Country," this country is characterized by a free-market economy, strict adherence to the U.S. Constitution, and a strong emphasis on gun ownership.The Interior & South: Spans the entire American Midwest, the South, Texas, the Great Plains, and the Rocky Mountain states.The Border Forces: The U.S. maintains heavily armed border checkpoints to control immigration from the failing People's Republic and protect its sovereignty |

FBI raids. Lots and lots of televised FBI raids and perp walks. Supreme court will be packed. DC and Puerto Rico will become states. Censorship and de-platforming on social media will return, on steroids. More penises in girl's locker rooms. The Dept of War will be renamed and made woke again. Flock and associated technologies will be implemented, with cameras turned towards church parking lots, VFW halls, etc. USAID will be made bigger and better than ever before. The borders will be thrown wide open, again. Red state governors will organize and push back. Lines will be drawn. |
Spending myself in a worthy course.

Here's what I think will happen if that happens (ie democrats own it all) - You can expect the electoral college form of presidential voting to come to an end. It will be majority wins - even if just 1 vote (which makes it easier to dump enough ballots to win). - Expect renewed and invigorated attacks on the 2nd amendment and more gun bans. Even if ultimately overturned they will tie up the courts which is what they want. - Everyone associated with the Trump administration will be investigated, subpoenaed, sued and their lives destroyed. Just look at what happened to Rudy Giuliani. - The borders will be wide open and it will be like FJB 2.0 everywhere. - Whatever other perverse craziness you can possibly imagine could occur in public school will be implemented because that is part of the plan. - The national debt will implode because it is inevitable. |

"A nation that forgets GOD will be turned into Hell". No more ar15's even though they really aren't assault weapons. All the money spent on them down the tubes along with FRT's. Except for rare breed. DEI and queers and the rest of the alphabet people on parade. School children taught perversion instead of A,B,C's. Horney teenage boys in girls locker rooms. More social communist programs to bankrupt the bankrupt USA. Basically every perverted, meglomaniacle, communist, anti GOD, form of Anarchy avaliable etc...... |

From past experience... Gun sales thru the roof. Ammo sold out at record high prices. 22lr, if you can find some will be $87/ box of 50 for the cheapest shit. Primers unobtainable, along with popular powders. Lead smelting banned, bullet prices skyrocket. Neckbeard paradise! Most other situations discussed already... |

Some quarter-measure will be made to address social security, promising far more than it will deliver, and blaming the stresses on it on the current administration, though it's been building for decades. Tariffs will end. Medical research/ cdc/ WHO will expand at unprecedented rates. The national mall pool will be filled with jello, mixed with the tears of the oppressed. Kennedy Center will be rebuilt magnificently, though the expense will be labelled as 'necessary to restore to pre-2024 condition'. Bizarre new ATF regs will be enacted. Federal hiring and office leases will expand. Standing ovations and applause during state of union addresses, in response to generic, feel-good-intended/ slight jabs & references to former admin/ fascism/ reasonability will last 5x as long as any actual content. 'Minority' and non-US citizen hurdles to govt-backed sb loans and incentives for non-US citizens to live and work in US will be expanded exponentially. New fed govt backed student-loan 'repayment' programs will proliferate. Taxes will increase .00001% on folks/ businesses worth $50m+, on working-class folks by 8%, 'upper middle class'/ non-biz owning folks by 14%, and reduced on poor folks by 1%. Housing will stagnate, occupancy rates increase, 'new home' starts will be advertised as increasing but biggest increases will be conversion of offices to residential high occupancy units in urban centers. Just off the top of my mind. All of this sounds pretty on point. |

USSC will be packed, or Thomas and Alito will mysteriously die. The Dems will pay off Iran for a fake deal of nuke development stoppage, but Iran will continue R&D and will announce that they have a bomb before the end of the administration. Hamas and Hezbollah will make a come back thanks to new funding. More ME wars. A nuke will be popped off with 5 years. Probably at Israel, Iran, or Saudi Arabia. A stretch goal for Dems will be war with Russia over Ukraine, which could go nuclear when we destroy their military. Ours will atrophy away after that. The full takeover of Europe by Muslim religious zealots and communists will finally be completed. Rape and murder at a massive scale with only underground reporting of it. Illegal aliens will pour into the country at rates we haven’t seen. Massive spending and tax increases on everyone. DEI will be en vogue again. If you’re not gay, female (real or fake), or a POC, you will be locked out of the major universities. It won’t matter that much as their cutting edge STEM programs will atrophy due to emphasis on social issues. Every major R presidential candidate that isn’t a full-on progressive will be hogtied by criminal legal proceedings during their campaigns. China will advance faster and build an AI driven drone army, and will take Taiwan, meaning full control over the semiconductor industry for the next decade or two. China will then focus on Korea, Vietnam will ally with them, and they’ll work towards taking most of the South Pacific. They’ll be the new, sole superpower. Open source AI will die or be severely handicapped and taken underground. Large corps will control frontier AI and it will be deemed too dangerous for common people. You’ll only have access for certain work tasks, which will train Anthropic and OpenAI’s models on all of your company’s data and ideas. Then, they’ll start competing against everyone, and winning. The power consolidation will be massive. Communism will engulf most of the southern hemisphere. |

Iran gets their nukes, hits Israel and several European capitals. Russia and China want to play, Russia attacks Europe and the ChiComs the US. |

There will have been bulk hiring to un-DOGE domestic agencies. USAID rebuilt at great expense. All tariffs dumped to get prices down in time for 2030 midterms. They’ll have a hard time getting DOD budget down but they’ll try. |

All Trump EO's reversed day 1. Assuming pardons are widespread, they'll try to find some work around, challenge the supremacy clause. Open borders. Remove filibuster. Puerto Rico and DC. 13 (at least) Supreme Court Justices. Trying to enshrine mail in voting nationally, motor voter, and reducing in person voting and checks on counting. Trying to use CA playbook to criminalize things like enforcing laws, promoting "equity" on a national basis. Trying to enshrine DEI and more affirmative action things nationally. Trying to bring back ROE. Doing anything they can to destabilize the country. But I think there's still a chance the DSA doesn't take over the DNC and they fight and weaken each other. Then Thune and other dipshits continue to do ... nothing. |
